MILES CITY. Mont, April 4.-Ben Mason,
q rancher, saloon man and storekeeper of the
little town of Powderville, sixty miles south
of Miles City, came in town to-day aud sur
rendered himself to the officers of
the law with the statement that on sunday
morning he had shot and killed one James
Clark near Powdervilie. Masons story Of
the killing is, that on his return from recent
trip to Miles City he was informed
by his wife that Clark had at
tempted to outrage their nlne-year-old
daughter Clark then escaped to the hills
and was there in hiding. On Sunday MORN
ing Mason learned that Clark had returned to
his ranch across Powder river from MAJ
sons place, and set out with the ln-
tention of appreheuding Clark and bringing
him to Miles. Mason was successful in eff
fecting the arrest of Clark and set out with
him in charge. intending to deliver him into
the custody of the sheriff. Mason was
of course armed, and notified Clark
that an attempt at escaping would result
in his being shot down. Notwithstanding
this warning Clark broke and made run be-
fore they had proceeded half a mile
| on their journey and Mason made
good his word and shot him
| through the head, killing him almost
instantly. The coroner and deputy sheriff
proceeded to the scene of the tragedy late
this evening, and Mason, being the
sole witness, was taken back with them.

reasserted his adherence to the principles of

AT its meeting yesterday morning the board
of trade listened to Il verbal report from
Judge Bassett, Of the committee on naviga-
tiou. The committee had interviewed Maj.
Allen at St. Paul, and were informed that the
opening Of the river between the cities de-
pended on several contingencies. If the state
returns to the national government 100000
acres of land given for the purpose Of i'm
proving the river in early days, the govern
ment will undertake to build lock and dam
at Meeker's Island, aud thus solve all diff
cuities. Should the dam be built, however,
the proposed Franklin avenue bridge will be
too low, so it would seem best to defer the
building OF the bridge until the permanent
survey is made. The board then considered
what could be done in aid of the Fond du Lac
harvester works. The committee appointed
TO solicit stock reported that they had secured
all but $4,000. large share of this amount
was subscribed by citizens present. and the
committee was authorized to continue its
work until ii o'clock this morning, when an
